The sick girl was a de­vot­ed Christ­ian, and her words, her pa­tience, her sub­mis­sion and hea­ven-lit coun­te­nance, so dem­on­strat­ed the spir­it of<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">&nbsp;her re­li­gion that the ac­tress was led to give some ear­nest thought to the claims of Christ­i­an­i­ty, and was tho­rough­ly con­vert­ed, and be­came a true fol­low­er of Christ.

Her fa­ther was as­ton­ished be­yond mea­sure, and told his daugh­ter that their liv­ing would be lost to them and their bu­si­ness ru­ined, if she per­sist­ed in her re­so­lu­tion. Lov­ing her fa­ther dear­ly, she was shak­en some­what in her pur­pose, and par­tial­ly con­sent­ed to fill the pub­lished en­gage­ment to be met in a few days. She was the star of the troupe, and a gen­er­al fa­vo­rite. Ev­ery prep­a­ra­tion was made for the play in which she was to ap­pear. The ev­en­ing came and the fa­ther re­joiced that he had won back his daugh­ter, and that their liv­ing was not to be lost. The hour ar­rived; a large au­di­ence had as­sem­bled. The cur­tain rose, and the young ac­tress stepped for­ward firm­ly amid the ap­plause of the mul­ti­tude. But an un­wont­ed light beamed from her beau­ti­ful face.

He has pledged His Father’s honour to give you the Holy Spirit if you ask Him—“﻿If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?﻿” (﻿Luke 11:13﻿). The Holy Spirit at work in our personal lives enables us to make the ideal and the actual one, and we begin slowly to discern that we have been brought into the place where Jesus Christ tells. The beginning of spiritual life is away down where it cannot be traced; the theological explanation will emerge presently. The first thing a man needs is to be born into the Kingdom of God by receiving the Holy Spirit, and then slowly and surely be turned into a disciple. The entrance into the Kingdom of God is always through the moral frontier of need. At any turn of the road the touch may come." ~ Oswald Chambers <a href="http://davidkrienke.bandcamp.com/track/come-holy-spirit">http://davidkrienke.bandcamp.com/track/come-holy-spirit</a></div>David Krienkehttps://plus.google.com/111770828100859666074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768665148500778287.post-86703594613673543182016-04-12T20:41:00.002-04:002016-04-12T20:41:41.892-04:00Momentary, Light Affliction<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3fRX-lTogWo/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3fRX-lTogWo?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="1f2cv" data-offset-key="831bm-0-0"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="831bm-0-0"><span data-offset-key="831bm-0-0"><span data-text="true">"Momentary, light affliction" is opposite of "eternal, weighty glory".</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="1f2cv" data-offset-key="eln8c-0-0"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="eln8c-0-0"><span data-offset-key="eln8c-0-0"><span data-text="true">"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." ~ 2 Corinthians 4:17</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="1f2cv" data-offset-key="15lte-0-0"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="15lte-0-0"><span data-offset-key="15lte-0-0"><span data-text="true">Here's an interesting insight into this scripture, courtesy of Oswald Chambers book "The Love of God - The Message of Invincible Consolation".

It is also known as "The Enniscorthy Carol", as it was originally collected by a folklorist named Grattan Flood in Enniscorthy, a town in Ireland's County Wexford, as well as "Carul Loch Garman" (the Irish translation of "Wexford Carol"). The lyrics, which are in English, date back to the 12th century. As is the case with all very old songs, the history is a bit hard to track, but it appears that the lyrics were added to the tune much later, and it is not believed that the lyrics were originally in the Irish language. Some reverse translations have been made by contemporary Irish traditional musicians, but the English lyrics are actually the most traditional ones.<br />MERRY CHRISTMAS<br />"Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.<br />Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my Gospel, for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer - even to the point of chains - but the Word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the Salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal Glory.<br />This is a faithful saying:<br />If we died with Him - we shall also Live with Him.<br />If we endure - we shall also reign with Him.<br />If we deny Him - He also will deny us.<br />If we are faithless - He remains Faithful - He cannot deny Himself." ~ 1 Timothy 2:7-13</div>David Krienkehttps://plus.google.com/111770828100859666074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768665148500778287.post-66916449885520294652014-12-20T22:38:00.000-05:002014-12-20T22:40:30.951-05:00God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/NHvvJMY449Y?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><span style="color: white; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" is an English traditional Christmas carol. The melody is in Aeolian mode. It was published by William B. Sandys in 1833, although the author is unknown. Like so many early Christmas songs, this carol was written as a direct reaction to the music of the fifteenth century church. However, in the as-yet earliest known publication of the carol on a circa 1760 broadsheet, it is described as a "new Christmas carol," suggesting its origin is actually in the mid-18th century. It appeared again among "new carols for Christmas" in another 18th-century source, a chapbook believed to be printed between 1780-1800.</span></span><br /><span style="color: white; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">This is my own interpretation, played in a slow blues tempo.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; line-height: 18px;">"Open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to Light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus Christ." ~ Acts 26:18</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; line-height: 18px;">"The True Light which gives Light to every man coming into the world was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

Let Him be your example in humility:<br />Even though He was essentially One with God, and in the form of God possessed the fullness of the attributes which make God God, He didn't think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained. So He stripped Himself of all privileges, and rightful dignity, and assumed the guise of a servant and slave.<br />He became like men and was born a human being.<br />After He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself still further, and carried His obedience to the extreme of death - even the death of the cross!<br />Therefore, because He stooped so low, God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name - that at the Name of Jesus every knee must bow, in heaven, on earth and under the earth - and every tongue openly confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." ~ Philippians 2:5-11</div>David Krienkehttps://plus.google.com/111770828100859666074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768665148500778287.post-74906180118807002552014-12-16T23:40:00.000-05:002014-12-16T11:40:19.743-05:00Away in a Manger<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/NUkrEtwoqAM?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div>"Away in a Manger" is a Christmas carol first published in 1885 in Philadelphia and used widely throughout the English-speaking world. For many years the text was credited to the German Protestant reformer Martin Luther. Research has shown, however, that this is nothing more than a fable.<br />In the book "Dainty Songs for Little Lads and Lasses for Use in the Kindergarten, School and Home", by James R. Murray, it bears the title "Luther's Cradle Hymn" and the note, "Composed by Martin Luther for his children, and still sung by German mothers to their little ones."<br />A possible reason for the spurious attribution to Luther is that the 400th anniversary of his birth was in 1883. The words were either based on a poem written for this anniversary or were credited to Luther as a clever marketing gimmick. This song has never been found in Luther's works.<br />The third stanza, "Be near me, Lord Jesus" was first printed in "Gabriel's Vineyard Songs" in 1892, where it appeared with a tune by Charles H. Gabriel (simply marked "C"), thus these words are probably by Gabriel. Gabriel credited the entire text to Luther and gave it the title "Cradle Song." This verse is sometimes attributed to Dr. John McFarland, but since the popular story dates his contribution to 1904 (postdating the 1892 printing by 12 years), his contribution is highly questionable.<br />"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ....... and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." ~ John 1:1,14<br />"It came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.<br />So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with Child.<br />So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered - and she brought forth her Firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." ~ Luke 2:1-7</div>David Krienkehttps://plus.google.com/111770828100859666074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768665148500778287.post-35537515712038944692014-12-15T12:55:00.000-05:002014-12-15T12:55:27.359-05:00The First Noel<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rJ7irYnD6_s/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rJ7irYnD6_s?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rJ7irYnD6_s?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>"The First Noel" is a tra­di­tion­al Eng­lish car­ol, pos­si­bly dat­ing from as ear­ly as the 13th Cen­tu­ry.

After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this Child.

The Herald Angels Sing” was written in 1739, by Charles Wesley, brother of John Wesley founder of the Methodist church. He usually requested slow and solemn music for his lyrics, so it was sung to a different tune initially. Over a hundred years later, in 1840, Felix Mendelssohn composed a cantata to commemorate Johann Gutenberg's invention of the printing press. English musician William H. Cummings adapted Mendelssohn’s music to fit the lyrics of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”, already written by Wesley.<br />"Then suddenly there appeared with the angel an army of the troops of Heaven - a heavenly knighthood, praising God and saying:<br />'Glory to God in the highest Heaven, and on earth peace among men of goodwill, that are of His favor - with whom He is well pleased.'<br />When the angels went away from them into Heaven, the shepherds said one to another, 'Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing - this saying that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us." ~ Luke 2:13-15</div>David Krienkehttps://plus.google.com/111770828100859666074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768665148500778287.post-40321525448996222242014-12-12T23:02:00.000-05:002014-12-12T23:02:53.287-05:00Angels from the Realms of Glory<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/0gnlMgCnDls?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div>"Angels From the Realms of Glory" was written by an Irishman named James Montgomery. He worked for a newspaper called the Sheffield Register, and the words to this carol were published in it on Christmas Eve 1816. The music was composed by Henry Smart.<br />"Great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden Truth - the mystic Secret of Godliness.<br />God was made visible in human flesh -<br />He was justified and vindicated in the Holy Spirit -<br />He was seen by angels -<br />He was preached among the nations -<br />He was believed on in the world, and taken up in Glory." ~ 1 Timothy 3:16<br />"It is these very things - which have now already been made known plainly to you by those who preached the Good News - the Gospel to you by the same Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Into these things, the very angels long to look!" ~ 1 Peter 1:12 http://youtu.be/0gnlMgCnDls</div>David Krienkehttps://plus.google.com/111770828100859666074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768665148500778287.post-84348900521189149132014-12-10T11:07:00.000-05:002014-12-10T11:07:18.934-05:00While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/ysu7WFARkdg?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div>"While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks" dates back to 1703. The words were written by Nahum Tate, who was the Poet Laureate in the reign of Queen Anne, and Nicholas Brady. Only the Psalms of David were sung in the Anglican Church prior to that time. Tate and Brady were the first to paraphrase the psalms for singing in rhyme which then became distinctive of their work. The familiar melody was taken from "Siroe," an opera by George Frederick Handel.<br />"There were shepherds living out under the open sky in the field, watching in shifts, over their flock by night.<br />And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the Glory of the Lord flashed and shone all about them, and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them:<br />'Do not be afraid - for behold, I bring you Good News of a great Joy which will come to all the people. For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ the Messiah - the Lord!'

The tune that I use, and is usually heard with it, was written 85 years later - in 1830, by Row­land H. Pri­chard.<br />I used an oboe keyboard sample for the instrumental chorus halfway through.<br />"I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given Dominion and Glory and a Kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His Dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away,<br />and His Kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed." ~ Daniel 7:13-14<br />"My eyes have seen Your Salvation which You have prepared before the face of all peoples - a Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people Israel." ~ Luke 2:30-32<br />"Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" ~ Revelation 22:20</div>David Krienkehttps://plus.google.com/111770828100859666074noreply@blogger.com0
